Golden Age Of Phoenix: Tyrant’s First Class Virtuous Imperial Concubine

When Xu Shizong arrived at the river bank, the place was already noisy with gongs and drums, and the surface of the river was slightly agitated. Jiang Tao continued to beat the embankment, stirring up huge waves, and turning into countless water foam, which was swept away by the wind.

However, the smell of water in the wind is getting heavier.

As soon as Xu Sezong got out of the carriage, he was staggered by the harsh river wind and almost fell. Xiao Man hurriedly helped him: "Be careful, son."

Xu Shizong raised his hand and waved it, indicating that he was okay.

However, before Xiao Man released his hand, he could not restrain himself from coughing. When Xiao Man saw this, he hurriedly asked him to stand against the carriage and took out a wind cloak from the carriage to cover him. Go up and say: "The son shouldn't have come here, the wind here is too strong, it will blow the son bad."

While coughing, Xu Shizong asked him to put on a wind cloak and tie himself.

Then he said: "Ahem, I am not, ahem, it's not paper tied, how can it break so easily."

After speaking, there was another cough.

After coughing, he quickly tucked the handkerchief in his palm back into his sleeve, but Xiaoman still saw the bright red stain on the handkerchief at a glance, and his eyes immediately turned red. In the past few days, no matter how he took the medicine and how many doctors he had called, Xu Shizong's condition went bad uncontrollably, and he coughed and turned red almost every day.

He was really afraid that this master would not be able to survive this time.

But Xu Sezong didn't care about this at all. After putting a handkerchief in his sleeve, he raised his head and looked at the sky. Today's sky is gloomy, with heavy clouds stacked on top of his head, and there is no sunlight, and the river is full of mist. , The visibility is very low.

However, they can still see the majestic and magnificent water army camp they built on the shore.

Xu Shizong raised his hand and tried it in the air.

It is still southeast wind.

The bitter wind of the river was like a wave of heavy hammers hitting their backs, especially when he was wearing a windbreaker, and he was almost staggered by the wind several times. Xiaoman always helped him to the embankment. As soon as the following ministries saw him coming, they immediately stepped forward to salute: "Military division."

"Ahem,"

Xu Shizong coughed and asked, "How is the situation?"

One of them, Zhou Ning, said: "The Jiangbei side has seen their team assembled in the morning, but there is no movement yet."

Xu Shizong said, "They can't move either."

This is vague, but in fact, people who live longer on the riverside or those who are familiar with water war know that whether you can cross the river depends on your own ability and the direction of the wind. Xu Shifeng assembled the troops in Jiangbei, and the assembly may not have been completed until yesterday, but he didn't act until this time because the southeast wind has been blowing these days.

Although they can cross this wind direction, if they encounter resistance from Jiangnan, even a slight resistance, they will suffer a heavy blow.

Zhou Ning also reached out and tested the wind direction and said, "These days, the southeast wind has been blowing."

"Ok."

"Military strategist, if the wind is always southeast, it will be difficult for people in Jiangbei to cross the river."

"Of course I know."

"Then why did the military division set the day of the decisive battle today?"

Xu Shizong looked around for a while and said, "I have asked the fishermen and old people living on the riverside a few days ago, and they all can see that the wind will turn as early as today."

"what?"

"So, you have to be prepared."

Zhou Ning looked solemn and said: "Subordinates understand."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sneer from the side. Xu Shizong covered his mouth and coughed twice, then turned his head, only to see two tall figures walking on the embankment, not someone else, who followed Zhu Chengjin before. The water bandits who got up to Tiangang Lianhuanwu in Jinling City, two of them led Li Chen and Fang Zhen.

Although these two are more than half a hundred years old, they are strong in spirit and physically strong, and the aura that they come by is even more frightening than Xu Shizong.

Among them, Li Chen said coldly: "Why, afraid?"

Xu Shizong glanced at them lightly.

Although there is no superfluous expression on his face, there is still some undisguised disgust and contempt in his eyes.

He is a Confucian student, and even if he has to join these people to do things together, the Confucian contempt for bandits has been deeply rooted in his bones from the beginning and cannot be wiped out at all.

He said lightly: "What do you two want to say?"

Li Chen said, "As soon as the wind turns, do you want to turn too?"

Xu Shizong said: "The most reversible thing in this world is the human heart. The human heart has greed, anger, ignorance, and is driven for simple desires. This kind of behavior has no longevity. As long as there is other interest temptation, it can be transferred at any time."

"..."

"Only faith will not be easily transferred."

The two old men frowned and stared at him.

This kind of scholar’s ​​old hanging sighed, of course they couldn’t listen, and felt the sour and rotten taste of this person, Fang Zhen said immediately; "With these skills, you can use it on the surface of the river, so you don’t have to ask us. Up."

Xu Shizong turned to look at them.

As soon as he was about to speak, there was another violent cough that made him blush and his ears were open, and he couldn't even straighten his waist. Xiaoman hurriedly helped him and stretched out his hand to wipe him smoothly: "Master, you are careful!"

Li Chen sneered, "A sick seed, what did you come here to do?"

After speaking, they turned to leave.

Just when they were about to leave, Xu Shizong gritted his teeth and stopped his cough, and reluctantly said: "Please stay with you two. I have one more thing. I want to entreat them."

The two stopped and looked back at him.

Xu Shizong wiped the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, and said, "If the war comes together, please be merciful to the two men."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Li Chen and Fang Zhen seemed to have heard some fantasy. They looked at each other and immediately laughed: "Are you kidding us?"

"Since the war started to show mercy, do you want us to die in their hands?"

Xu Shizong said immediately: "No, I didn't mean that."

"..."

"I know that the two are comfortable on the surface of the river. If you meet the opponent's general, I would like to ask the two men to show mercy."

"..."

Upon hearing this, the two looked at each other.

Li Chen sneered and said, "I have heard that the general in Jiangbei is the younger brother of the military division in Jiangnan. Are you asking us to spare your brother his life?"

"Not to spare my life."

Xu Shizong said: "The best thing is to be able to catch alive."

"...!"

The two people were shocked again, and looked at each other again, and suddenly understood.

At this moment, a gust of river wind swept across the surface of the river, causing all of them to stagger, and Fang Zhen suddenly lifted his spirits: "The direction of the wind has changed!"
